Just like Antoine.
The accompaniment of the soundtrack in "Four Hundred Blows" is brisk, but the rhythm still oozes deep sadness in the softness. Just like the movie itself, under the series of naughty and innocent ones that make you sigh and laugh, you suddenly find that you haven't watched a movie that makes you cry for a long time.
The reason why I am full of affection for Antoine He is just his expression, his crooked steps, and his clear eyes, which are very similar to my unruly brother. True, they are naughty at school, they talk big and come and go with their little buddies. It's just that their families are different. My brother didn't live on the streets or send him to a correctional center because of his unruly behavior, but Antoine actually endured it. So for Antoine, I have a particularly blurred feeling that is full of them. Sympathy and inexplicable guilt.
Antoine was always submissive in front of his parents, buying flour, taking out the garbage, clearing the dishes, and sleeping alone in a small, broken room with a large door at one end and a thick door at the other end - put the stove separate from yourself. But Antoine accepted it all in front of it, he didn't reject it, he was even happy to take it as his own. In fact, a long time after the film aired, I thought Antoine was doing well, until his little bed and thin quilt, until his pajamas full of holes when he got up.
Antoine finally entered the correctional center, and was scolded by his own mother: "If you want to mix yourself in the future, let's get out of here first!" Just because he passed a painting for his classmates in class. Then skip class. I met my mother when it was inconvenient for both of us. Then I hang out with my buddy Rene (this may be Antoine's happiest childhood memory), during which I also watch movies with my parents and go home happily, but a baby dumps the garbage and tells Antoine that the old days had to be Continue... Then there is the typewriter of the first father, which can't be sold and sent back to be arrested. From the prison to the juvenile detention center, fleeing, running to the sea and then turning to the direction where he came from with a bewildered face. This is the main theme of the film, but there are too many moving and soulful textures in this skeleton.
Let's look at the details.
When Antoine was sentenced to stand, the teacher had a dictation. A curly-haired boy who always rips all the paper off because ink drips on it. Maybe we know now that Antoine's little mistake will have a big, big consequence. Going to the playground, in the rotating bucket, Antoine poured himself hard, but no matter what happened, it would not turn back to the way it was. We know that Antoine, who skipped class, will never go home from school like before. Eating to garbage and sleeping. In the police station, Antoine was kept in a small cage, from a large cage where he was staying with men, to being driven out and sent to a small cage because of the arrival of women. We also know that in Antoine In Wan's heart, his biological mother was far less important than his adoptive father. Even in the big cage, the man robbed him of his seat... When Antoine was sent to the juvenile detention center at school, he was lying on the railing, surrounded by People don't care at all. When Antoine sheds tears as a lonely child in the harsh winter of Paris, I feel bad again. The reason is "again", when I was scared out of the printing factory overnight, the scene of poor Antoine drinking milk made me sigh...
This is childhood, it is far less bright than the rendering. It's just that when we look at the past, we always filter out the black and white with our black eyes, always thinking that there is a childhood when the color is switched. But Truffaut gave you an atypical childhood, so your three-dimensional childhood suddenly emerges from watching movies. This is a classic, a classic is not a cold stunt, a classic is the warmth of emotion.
Speaking of stunt Hollywood, Truffaut used his old French mentality to play a little bit of America. The English teacher taught the students "The girl is on beach", and then the children said seriously: "The girl is bitch"...
and of course the long shot of 1 minute and 27 seconds. That inquiry about running and chasing. and the last sea. This article has always been difficult to understand. Rene came to see that Antoine rode a bicycle, which shows that the correctional center is very close to Paris, but from Paris to the nearest Beihai, it is definitely not a small child can run through. I can ignore so much here, because I only remember Antoine's eyes, his melancholy sparkling clarity, which instantly illuminated my childhood...
